Digital Task Force

What Digital Task Force does

Digital Task Force is a privately held, founder-led techno-legal cyber security and digital forensics firm headquartered in Pune, Maharashtra, India, established circa 2009 by Dr. Rohan Nyayadhish. The firm delivers professional services across five practice areas: digital forensic investigation (disk imaging, mobile forensics, ransomware and data-theft response, Section 63 BSA 2023 certificate and hash-value reports); offensive security (VAPT across web, mobile, network, and wireless); governance and compliance (information security audits for banking, ISO 27001 consulting, virtual CISO, cyber risk/maturity assessment, cyber insurance consulting, and DPDP Act 2023 / DPO 360 services); incident response and malware analysis; and techno-legal advocacy covering IT Act 2000 cases, criminal, civil, family, IP, and trust law. Its customer base spans law-enforcement agencies (Pune Police Cyber Cell, CBI/CID-style bodies, courts and judiciary), banking and financial institutions—most notably multi-state cooperative banks for which the firm claims 29+ developed security policies—and corporate enterprises, with a parallel victim-facing channel through the Global Cyber Crime Helpline sub-brand.

The underlying technology layer combines commercial SIEM platforms for threat detection and event correlation, AI-assisted malware analysis, deepfake/AI-generated imagery detection for forensic evidence, and AI-driven phishing-simulation tooling for awareness training. The firm itself holds dual certification (ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022) and markets domain specialization in Indian cyber-law frameworks (IT Act 2000, Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023). Education is operated through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Digital Task Force Education Society, which runs the DTF AI Academy and certified programs (CICDA, Certified Cyber Crime Yoddha, Cyber Crime Analyst, Digital Forensic Analyst, AI in Ethical Hacking, Techno-Legal Certified Expert), authored publications on cyber law and data protection, and the founder's credentials serve as the principal credibility asset.

The revenue model is project-based, quote-driven professional services delivered through direct enterprise and government field sales, supplemented by event-driven demand generation and a smaller, cohort-based education arm. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; contracts appear to be custom and often multi-year. Headcount is in the 11–50 band, the firm is bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional funding, and ownership is concentrated with the founder. Distribution remains heavily India-centric despite the firm's 'global' marketing claim.
